This evening we're going to be talking golf on the other side of the pond because it is the last major of the year.

Royal Troon is where they're teeing it up over there.

00:00:59.008 --> 00:01:02.348
Before we do that, let's handle the particulars.

00:01:02.348 --> 00:01:04.367

They have a golf tournament coming up.

00:02:04.823 --> 00:02:15.784
Shoes for scholars is a nonprofit organization that collaborates with a title one middle schools to implement incentive programs aimed at improving students' performance on tests.

00:02:15.784 --> 00:02:20.527
So if you're interested, schools for scholars, look them up.

00:02:20.527 --> 00:02:20.929
They have a.

I mean great, great thing, man.

00:02:40.284 --> 00:02:42.991
When I was in, when I was in school, I wanted new shoes all the time.

00:02:43.072 --> 00:02:50.360
So we got a bunch of these so shout out to them yeah, speaking of, I need to get one of those from you, matt yes, you do, yes, you do.

00:02:51.181 --> 00:02:52.925
Uh, you'll get one, you only get one.

00:02:52.925 --> 00:03:00.823
So hey, that's all I need hey, until I see it and you're displaying it, that's all you get.

00:03:00.823 --> 00:03:06.133
Uh, yeah, but uh, let's keep in touch with them.

00:03:06.133 --> 00:03:12.091
I'll put in the show notes the link uh to that site and I'll find out the the tournament information.

00:03:12.091 --> 00:03:15.986
I'll have that in the show notes as well, so so my buddy that I that told me about it.

00:03:16.407 --> 00:03:20.804
I ran into him on fourth of july at work, right, because we do the fireworks at gvr, um.

00:03:20.804 --> 00:03:29.727
But I used to do graffiti with him, which is crazy, right, like way back in the day we used to paint up like idiots, um.

00:03:29.727 --> 00:03:36.344
But yeah, good, dude, and he connected me and uh, good, cause, man, and you get to play, uh, red rock.

00:03:36.365 --> 00:03:39.579
Private side if you've never played it, I haven't I think it's.

00:03:39.598 --> 00:03:44.868
I think it's 250 for an individual thousand for asome Totally reasonable for a private course.

00:03:44.868 --> 00:03:47.913
Yeah, check the links below.

00:03:51.860 --> 00:03:53.643
We'll have to get with our sponsors and see if they'll provide us with a foursome.

00:03:53.643 --> 00:03:55.526
I'm talking to the other three sponsors right now.

00:03:56.568 --> 00:03:57.669
I think I'm already playing.

00:03:57.830 --> 00:03:58.471
Oh, are you?

00:03:58.471 --> 00:04:02.480
Okay, joe doesn't want to play with us, I see, no, I would love it.

00:04:02.501 --> 00:04:05.264
maybe we can get eight, some let's get eight some going.

00:04:05.284 --> 00:04:08.530
Yeah, right on, okay, um, in other fundraising activities.

00:04:08.530 --> 00:04:13.062
Uh, I was chatting with the southern nevada golf association.

00:04:13.062 --> 00:04:18.120
They reached out to us and said hey, you know, we're, we're inviting our member clubs to come out to this.

00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:23.151
Uh, they're doing a hundred hole event out at angel park on July 29th.

00:04:23.151 --> 00:04:28.822
It is for fundraising for junior golf here in Southern Nevada.

00:04:28.822 --> 00:04:44.661
The Southern Nevada Junior Golf Association and also a program called Youth on Course, which is another company or organization that is doing their best to make golf affordable for juniors.

00:04:44.661 --> 00:04:48.851
They can play for as little as $5 at participating courses.

00:04:48.851 --> 00:04:57.600
So it's a great way to help the youth of the city get out onto courses, because golf ain't cheap in this town.

00:04:58.339 --> 00:05:00.507
And there's not a whole lot of places where juniors can go.

00:05:00.507 --> 00:05:06.726
I know it used to be at Revere if you paid for one adult you could bring a kid and they'd let him play for free.

00:05:06.726 --> 00:05:09.423
But after COVID all that shit disappeared fast.

00:05:09.423 --> 00:05:11.591
So this is another great program.

00:05:11.591 --> 00:05:19.007
So myself, steven Jackson, james Lewis and Jason Roberts all from the VGN are doing it.

00:05:19.007 --> 00:05:22.629
It's out at angel park on the cloud nine course on July 29th.

00:05:22.629 --> 00:05:29.226
I've been blasting on my social media on instagram and facebook and everything uh, how you can donate.

00:05:29.226 --> 00:05:30.509
It's a little five bucks.

00:05:30.529 --> 00:05:39.661
Make a five bucks donation hey, you know how, you know how I know it's important, or how you can know that it's important that's how it's important, you know?

00:05:39.661 --> 00:05:42.266
Yeah, I spent some money on it Very rare.

00:05:42.687 --> 00:05:52.031
Yeah, and so all my friends that make an ungodly amount of money and I know who you are and I know you wasted on stupid shit.

00:05:52.031 --> 00:05:58.348
If I don't see a donation from you, I'm going to call you out, so you've been put on notice.

00:05:58.348 --> 00:06:09.677
There's a handful of you that have no idea what to do with all the money you make, and so I'm giving you a great uh you know opportunity here to do some really good things for the community.

00:06:09.697 --> 00:06:12.185
So they're saving it so they can shit on us in the future.

00:06:12.266 --> 00:06:17.779
That's exactly so, uh, that's it for the fundraising.

00:06:17.779 --> 00:06:22.648
The golf stop, um, let's see.

00:06:22.648 --> 00:06:25.531
Uh, jeremy and I, we got out to wild horse today.

00:06:25.531 --> 00:06:26.834
I got out to wild horse saturday.

00:06:26.834 --> 00:06:29.869
I wanted to get in a little practice round and it was funny.

00:06:29.869 --> 00:06:37.771
We uh, somebody from the vgn on discord reached out and said, hey, let's, I got some spots for saturday, so I'll take it and boyd take one.

00:06:37.771 --> 00:06:41.048
And um, we, we went out and taylor nielsen took one.

00:06:41.048 --> 00:06:45.343
Dan gian was the guy who set it up and we went out there and we had an early tea time.

00:06:45.343 --> 00:06:48.509
It was like 6 50 and then we gotta do that nowadays.

00:06:48.750 --> 00:06:54.728
Yeah, we saw uh, vick sanchez was out there, uh, with uh, vincent and uh.

00:06:54.728 --> 00:07:00.480
Then we saw james lewis and uh, nick changeman and jack was out there.

00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:02.202
There was greg newton.

00:07:02.202 --> 00:07:02.923
There there was.

00:07:02.923 --> 00:07:22.329
I think there was at least 12 or 13 vg and members out there playing getting ready for next weekend and uh it, you know it's the first time boy to play the place and uh it, it immediately jumped to the number one course on his list uh no he did not like it at all and uh what's the thing, bro?

00:07:22.949 --> 00:07:23.470
oh let's go.

00:07:23.470 --> 00:07:24.932
It's wild horse, man.

00:07:24.932 --> 00:07:27.620
It's like it's that's exactly what you said.

00:07:27.620 --> 00:07:29.725
I mean there's gonna be dry spots.

00:07:29.725 --> 00:07:37.512
I mean, knowing darden and all the shit that he dealt with out there and all the leaks and everything, I mean it's, it's quirky.

00:07:37.892 --> 00:07:46.572
I mean it's not a major venue like it's not where you're gonna play, but you're gonna get some crazy kicks and you're gonna enjoy yourself because it's fun.

00:07:46.572 --> 00:07:53.095
Don't worry too much about the golf course, because not everything is augusta national and you need to get that through your head.

00:07:53.095 --> 00:07:54.480
Not everything is always green.

00:07:54.480 --> 00:08:03.007
We live in a desert, so if anything is green out there in the middle of july, like you, should probably be a little happy, incredibly happy it's very green.

00:08:03.488 --> 00:08:11.536
Well, it's very green, though I will say that yeah, it's, it's very green, it's just a green you're probably not used to seeing it's.

00:08:11.536 --> 00:08:12.119
It's.

00:08:12.119 --> 00:08:13.322
Yeah, what.

00:08:13.322 --> 00:08:15.045
What did jeremy say you were saying today?

00:08:15.086 --> 00:08:25.048
you're like the the, the bermuda rough here is it's the hardest bermuda rough I've ever played in and I said, well, it's so weird it's not a very well-maint maintained bermuda grass?

00:08:26.463 --> 00:08:33.682
they don't have the nutrient budget to make that shit lush uh yeah, and I mean being a muni course, uh, city of henderson.

00:08:33.722 --> 00:08:39.001
I mean, they're faced with very strict water restrictions yeah, I mean like piu.

00:08:39.001 --> 00:08:44.552
Piu can just fucking throw fucking prime drink on it if they want all day.

00:08:44.552 --> 00:08:48.405
You know they got the money and they have electrolytes they have the allotment on it.

00:08:48.405 --> 00:08:50.511
You know it's got electrolytes, so I mean they can.

00:08:50.511 --> 00:08:57.094
They can do what they want, but for a henderson muni, like they're restricted being under the city.

00:08:57.320 --> 00:09:02.692
Yeah, they ain't got no money, uh, but so, uh, we played early morning and it was.

00:09:02.692 --> 00:09:04.162
It was nice, it wasn't that bad.

00:09:04.162 --> 00:09:06.309
The wind wasn't bad at all.

00:09:06.309 --> 00:09:12.671
It got a little warm near the end of the round, but we made it around in in maybe under four hours, I don't know.

00:09:12.691 --> 00:09:25.187
It was pretty quick, and then Jeremy and I went out there today and ghost town, like you could hear the tumbleweeds Cause there was not a soul.

00:09:25.187 --> 00:09:27.581
Did see brandon out on the the range.

00:09:27.581 --> 00:09:31.032
Uh asked him to join us but he said he had stuff going on, couldn't do it.

00:09:31.032 --> 00:09:34.783
But uh, wow, uh, yeah, it was a ghost town.

00:09:34.783 --> 00:09:53.749
There was nobody out there and I think we played in in under three just um, but it was nice having the whole course to ourself, you know so we got to test some stuff and try some different shots and and really get a feel for what's going to take place on Saturday.

00:09:55.072 --> 00:10:00.643
I I said you know a lot of people are going to be surprised because if you don't know the horse and you don't play the horse.

00:10:00.643 --> 00:10:05.748
You're going to wonder how did I just shoot 90 at this place?

00:10:05.768 --> 00:10:20.381
you're gonna get horsed, you're gonna get horsed and get galloped, yeah hey, quick shout out to mass appeal golf tuning in on live on ig he is my homie, that's in indiana and uh, I know there's been chatters of an indiana trip.

00:10:20.783 --> 00:10:32.236
Uh, so it might be hitting you up soon, so uh, yep in may shout out, uh, jacob bassey great, great, great musical mind too, like he knows his music.

00:10:32.256 --> 00:10:41.563
So if you need recommendations, yes and if you don't know the horse, cyrus is tuning I don't know the horse and a lot of, a lot of people.

00:10:41.624 --> 00:10:42.346
Never take you there.

00:10:42.346 --> 00:10:48.703
A lot of I won't yeah he will hate it oh my god a lot of people skip the horse.

00:10:49.325 --> 00:10:59.110
A lot of people skip the horse, but it is a it's funky man, it is a it's a soul golfer's dream, in a way, like and they used it and jack nicholas won.

00:10:59.110 --> 00:11:03.674
There used to be called the showboat, like actually paradise valley.

00:11:03.674 --> 00:11:05.761
Yeah, cyrus, I'm going to send you an article.

00:11:05.761 --> 00:11:08.087
It's really good a lot of historical value.

00:11:08.107 --> 00:11:12.927
This is how I see cyrus playing wild horse gets there, goes to the range.

00:11:12.927 --> 00:11:14.572
That range is kind of beat up.

00:11:14.572 --> 00:11:17.846
There's some nice horse architecture or artwork out there you can aim at.

00:11:17.846 --> 00:11:18.427
It's not bad.

00:11:18.427 --> 00:11:22.224
Gets to the first tee, plays the first hole, goes okay.

00:11:22.224 --> 00:11:25.350
Goes to the second tee, plays that hole.

00:11:25.350 --> 00:11:26.011
He's like all right.

00:11:26.011 --> 00:11:29.347
And then just takes his cart to the parking lot and leaves.

00:11:29.368 --> 00:11:33.038
Well that would be the way to do.

00:11:33.038 --> 00:11:36.749
Well, you're right, there's two hole routing we'll hold it don't even make the left.

00:11:36.769 --> 00:11:37.471
Let's go straight.

00:11:41.205 --> 00:11:47.595
It was if, if he was not happy with coyote which is a shame, because three is great.

00:11:47.595 --> 00:11:52.451
I mean you gotta get a little draw off the t and number four with that par three over the water.

00:11:52.551 --> 00:11:56.187
That's a great par three three is so in my head right now.

00:11:56.187 --> 00:11:56.990
I can't.

00:11:57.510 --> 00:12:04.105
It's just messing I think I think number five out at the horse is probably the most lackluster hole.

00:12:04.105 --> 00:12:08.134
It's just like a straightaway long par four playing as a par five.

00:12:08.340 --> 00:12:10.027
If they would open up that back box again.

00:12:10.027 --> 00:12:13.509
I think it would make it a little bit more challenging.

00:12:14.561 --> 00:12:16.105
Matt is three, the dogleg left.

00:12:16.947 --> 00:12:17.528
Yeah.

00:12:17.910 --> 00:12:20.024
Yep, that one gets in your head.

00:12:20.426 --> 00:12:21.149
I don't know why.

00:12:21.149 --> 00:12:29.969
I don't know why I aim at the right side and I'm like if I hit it straight, it's going to roll out to the rough and it's fine.

00:12:29.969 --> 00:12:38.610
If I hit the draw, perfect, and I take it over the left bushes and I'm in the rough and just completely blocked out every fucking time.

00:12:39.943 --> 00:12:41.559
He hit three balls on that hole.

00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:43.369
He hit three balls Perfect swings, beautiful swings.

00:12:43.369 --> 00:12:43.750
All of three balls.

00:12:43.770 --> 00:12:47.304
Perfect swings, beautiful swings All of them in the same spot.

00:12:47.325 --> 00:12:48.008
Dead left.

00:12:48.249 --> 00:12:48.630
It was insane.

00:12:48.630 --> 00:12:50.666
That's what I love about it.

00:12:52.307 --> 00:12:53.894
That's what I love about the hole.

00:12:54.461 --> 00:12:57.049
Because you can just get fucking ounces, bro.

00:12:57.340 --> 00:12:59.830
I was just going to say why don't you just hit like five pounds?

00:12:59.830 --> 00:13:00.311
Luck of the draw.

00:13:00.539 --> 00:13:08.364
I'm hitting, because I'm hitting with those, those new lagp uh dj shafts yeah, shout out miles miles.

00:13:08.364 --> 00:13:12.610
I'm hitting the three wood off the tee perfectly.

00:13:12.610 --> 00:13:13.552
I mean jeremy saw it today.

00:13:13.552 --> 00:13:17.527
I mean I was, I was just I'm pummeling that thing off the tee.

00:13:17.527 --> 00:13:25.432
So yeah, that that will be hit with a three wood on on saturday the only thing that really sucks about the horse is the velcro greens.

00:13:26.162 --> 00:13:40.312
They're they're pretty velcro-y, so and and the cup or the hole cutter cup cuts the cup cuts the the hole cutter has not been sharpened since probably 87 yeah, it's a little square, it's.

00:13:40.773 --> 00:13:42.302
It's one out there.

00:13:42.302 --> 00:13:43.465
Yeah, it's a little dull.

00:13:44.126 --> 00:13:46.772
It may be specs dating back to the 1800s.

00:13:46.772 --> 00:13:52.591
Because those holes I said there has to be more lips per 18 holes at the wild horse than anywhere else in town.

00:13:55.841 --> 00:13:57.908
But it is a very fun golf course.

00:13:57.908 --> 00:14:00.187
Get out there and play, for sure.

00:14:00.187 --> 00:14:03.745
It's a not miss, bro, and you're not going to spend more than I mean.

00:14:03.745 --> 00:14:18.886
I don't know what it is for out of towners, but I used to cut my teeth out there when I started playing golf, like I was there every Saturday morning at 6am because it was 50 bucks and I used to play with a lot of old timers and that that's where I really learned how to play there in national.

00:14:18.886 --> 00:14:21.870
But it's, it will teach you that.

00:14:21.870 --> 00:14:29.610
It'll teach you about firm golf courses and you're going to get bad bounces and you're going to get good bounces and that's golf.

00:14:29.610 --> 00:14:35.652
I think Wild Horse is a fantastic first-timer golf course.

00:14:35.652 --> 00:14:40.831
If you can play it all the time and figure it out, you're going to do well.

00:14:40.831 --> 00:14:46.273
But you're going to get fucking lucky breaks and very, very bad breaks.

00:14:46.273 --> 00:14:48.063
It's a it's.

00:14:48.063 --> 00:14:49.048
It's a lot of fun.

00:14:49.087 --> 00:15:34.453
Man, I enjoy myself out there every time the thing that is cause it's a par 70 and it tips out at 6,500 yards, but the back is almost 3,600 yards because they've got the 600 yard par five, 17th or 16th, uh, the 245 yard par three on on 14, 13th, a long uphill hole, 10s, not exactly short, but I mean there, there's some beefy holes out there and, uh, you know if, if you were to find a couple other spots that have, like I said, if they would extend five, it could be a 6,800-yard par 70 course, which that's a lot for a Muni.

00:15:36.880 --> 00:15:38.124
I mean, it's not the.

00:15:38.124 --> 00:15:39.486
What are they playing?

00:15:39.486 --> 00:15:47.149
7,300 over in Royal Troon this weekend, but man Miles just made a bold.

00:15:47.149 --> 00:15:48.652
I know I yeah, I was.

00:15:48.652 --> 00:16:00.708
I didn't want to bring it up, but I mean yeah he said enjoy the chad boys long day tomorrow and sleep on cabot citrus for a few years a couple years.

00:16:00.708 --> 00:16:07.462
Don't misquote him, I'm sorry a couple years a few, a couple same thing, a little little too new.

00:16:08.024 --> 00:16:14.202
Uh, yeah, a little little too new yeah, that's usually the case of courses, looks like battle of the bulge out.

00:16:14.244 --> 00:16:27.381
There need some time I can see that I mean new golf courses take time to mature, obviously, like I haven't played copper ox since it opened and you can.

00:16:27.381 --> 00:16:29.147
You can tell when something's new.

00:16:29.327 --> 00:16:34.623
So oh, those greens were firm, firm, firm it definitely needs time to mature.

00:16:34.643 --> 00:16:35.365
You know what black?

00:16:35.384 --> 00:16:38.893
desert, black desert, was it's right, right out the gate?

00:16:39.321 --> 00:16:39.541
true.

00:16:39.541 --> 00:16:42.966
Yeah, black desert played very well out the gate, it's true.

00:16:44.269 --> 00:16:47.134
All right, so here we'll do this early.

00:16:47.134 --> 00:16:53.894
Let's do this and we'll be right back.

00:16:55.461 --> 00:17:00.808
There's something that binds us all the joy of connecting on and off the course.

00:17:00.808 --> 00:17:05.088
Get there the way a little heckle can be just the push you need.

00:17:05.088 --> 00:17:09.228
Get there a love language marked by admiration and respect.

00:17:09.228 --> 00:17:21.041
We're all bound by two words said by golfers worldwide get there, visit us at your local las vegas golf superstore or shop online at worldwidegolfcom worldwide.

00:17:21.041 --> 00:17:25.388
Get there, get there.

00:17:25.930 --> 00:17:31.785
Well, she had some bagpipe music to blast in here right now for this segue, because that would be kind of cool.

00:17:32.946 --> 00:17:37.884
It's the open, okay wait, I could play some people under the stairs, you should do that?

00:17:38.124 --> 00:17:39.989
uh, that opening that from corn.

00:17:39.989 --> 00:17:40.369
What's that?

00:17:40.369 --> 00:17:41.740
One song where they play the bagpipes.

00:17:42.643 --> 00:17:58.242
Forget the name of the song but god, you're going to bagpipes for like 45 seconds and then start rocking out yeah, so uh, jeremy said today in the car that this is his favorite tournament uh to watch, um, because it comes on for for our time it starts.

00:17:58.242 --> 00:18:03.672
It'll start uh 10, 30 wednesday night okay, that's.

00:18:03.792 --> 00:18:06.906
That's where my question is it's your favorite tournament to watch?

00:18:06.906 --> 00:18:09.468
Are you watching all night?

00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:13.188
Usually I watch before I go to bed.

00:18:13.188 --> 00:18:17.568
I fall asleep to the open, Then I wake up throughout the night and the open is still on.

00:18:17.568 --> 00:18:21.750
Then I wake up early and finish watching the open.

00:18:21.750 --> 00:18:23.582
It's cool to see the.

00:18:24.182 --> 00:18:27.089
I like the stories progress, like throughout the night.

00:18:27.089 --> 00:18:28.854
Like you, you see a play.

00:18:28.854 --> 00:18:36.544
Maybe you wake up and see a player tee off and then later in the day or you sleep for a few hours and then they're finishing their round and you're like what happened during that?

00:18:36.544 --> 00:18:39.207
Yeah, so then I go back and watch it.

00:18:39.207 --> 00:18:41.548
I usually watch all four rounds of this tournament.

00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:47.384
I love it, see, and that's my issue.

00:18:47.384 --> 00:18:50.250
Like I love the open, I love watching the open, but it requires a lot out of us on the west coast.

00:18:50.250 --> 00:18:54.989
That's where it's like I, especially for a major.

00:18:54.989 --> 00:18:58.237
I want to watch every shot and it's it with the open.

00:18:58.237 --> 00:19:25.601
It's very hard to see everything, you know, for us being on the west coast, so I think that's why it I love the open, but it could potentially be last, because I don't have the ability to watch everything suck it up yeah, I sacrifice my body to watch, to watch it every year I pay for it, but you're sleeping, though, but you're sleeping like what I do like what jeremy said, I do the exact same thing.

00:19:25.682 --> 00:19:42.023
I'll put it on at night I do, I do this, I do the same thing get up, go to the bathroom because I'm old and got to get up in the middle of night go to the bathroom and I'm like, oh, tiger's playing, all right, let's watch a few holes, you know, and I'll watch tiger, and then, okay, lay back down and then wake up oh, tiger's finishing.

00:19:43.125 --> 00:19:44.526
You're right, that's exactly what I do.

00:19:44.526 --> 00:19:58.461
That's me too right, like I'll fall asleep, but if I see it on TV, I'm watching until like I literally can't open my eyelids anymore, you know, like.

00:19:58.461 --> 00:20:09.489
So it's like it's me battling myself, and that's where it's tricky, because I want to watch everything, because it is a major and you know it's a battle with myself, kind of like Drake losing to Kendrick, you know.

00:20:10.721 --> 00:20:13.369
So I wrote down the times.

00:20:13.369 --> 00:20:20.271
I converted it to Pacific Standard Time.

00:20:20.271 --> 00:20:39.527
So on Thursday it starts you know which is going to be Wednesday night here 1030pm to 1am, that's on Peacock, and then from 1am to noon on USA and then noon to 115 on Peacock, that's Thursday and Friday.

00:20:39.527 --> 00:20:54.864
Saturday it's 2am to 4am on USA and then 4am to noon on NBC, and then Sunday it's 2 am to 4 am on USA and then 4 am to noon on NBC, and then Sunday it is 1 am to 4 am on USA and then 4 am to 11 am on NBC.

00:20:54.864 --> 00:21:01.857
So if you don't have the cock, go get the cock, because you're going to need it.

00:21:02.586 --> 00:21:05.513
You're going to need it to watch the beginning of the stuff.

00:21:05.513 --> 00:21:06.557
Yep.

00:21:07.805 --> 00:21:08.869
Download you some cock.

00:21:10.506 --> 00:21:11.892
Golf making you get the cock.

00:21:12.445 --> 00:21:15.372
And you got to pay for the cock now and you got to pay for the cock.

00:21:15.372 --> 00:21:16.436
Oh, it's not free anymore.

00:21:16.457 --> 00:21:17.320
No, you got to pay for the cock.

00:21:17.320 --> 00:21:17.984
No more free cock.

00:21:17.984 --> 00:21:19.709
No more free cock, no more free cock.

00:21:22.717 --> 00:21:26.507
Oh, that's one of the reasons I have the rental advisory on the.

00:21:26.507 --> 00:21:33.660
Yeah, all right, so, uh, royal troon, founded in 1878, it's been around for a long time.

00:21:33.660 --> 00:21:34.686
This is the 10th time.

00:21:34.686 --> 00:21:38.333
It's hosted the open, first time since 2016.

00:21:38.333 --> 00:21:41.438
And anybody remember the 2016?

00:21:41.438 --> 00:21:42.380
What took place then?

00:21:46.211 --> 00:21:54.124
yeah, colin montgomery did not win fucking tiger with that epic blast I mean he made.

00:21:54.124 --> 00:22:07.530
His golf swing may not be, or his golf game may not be what it used to be, but man, he, uh, he, he, let old colin have it I don't get colin like he's.

00:22:07.611 --> 00:22:16.959
He's the same as he's always been, though like he's just just total off the wall comments out of nowhere the comments on that post were epic.

00:22:18.066 --> 00:22:19.827
Why is laura davies so angry?

00:22:19.827 --> 00:22:31.865
Oh I lost it that's calling for you, oh, but hey, let's poke the bear a little, you know, let's poke them.

00:22:31.865 --> 00:22:36.317
Let's poke the bear a little and see, but oh great, comeback from tiger.

00:22:36.538 --> 00:22:55.519
So I will say I will say that colin is not in the position to say anything, but I kind of also as of late, as of late, it's, he's not wrong no, he's not tiger's been doing nothing since the masters, so yeah hopefully that changes, because none of us like to see that.

00:22:55.519 --> 00:23:03.228
You know, we all, we all got to witness the greatness that you know tiger woods did and you know, that's, that's, that's what you want to remember.

00:23:03.268 --> 00:23:03.930
That's that's.

00:23:03.930 --> 00:23:13.439
You don't want to see the limping tiger, the the you know, barely make a cut tiger right, exactly, so, yeah, all right.

00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:20.170
So let's see, uh, we'll do some, we'll do some trivial, we'll do some trivial stuff, uh who's?

00:23:20.170 --> 00:23:22.553
The last person to repeat for the open.

00:23:22.553 --> 00:23:25.536
Do you know?

00:23:28.660 --> 00:23:29.300
To repeat.

00:23:29.560 --> 00:23:31.087
Yeah, the last repeat champion.

00:23:32.971 --> 00:23:33.953
No, the tiger repeat.

00:23:34.355 --> 00:23:36.799
No, was not tiger.

00:23:37.662 --> 00:23:39.371
Yeah, that's where I fall short here.

00:23:41.125 --> 00:23:50.374
I, I, I look at these up and I'm like oh shit, totally forgot about that, so I would not have thought Was it recent or was it before Tiger 2008.

00:23:50.374 --> 00:23:52.923
Oh wow, 2008.

00:23:52.923 --> 00:23:55.468
2008 and 2009.

00:23:57.692 --> 00:23:58.272
Stenson.

00:24:01.077 --> 00:24:02.319
Yeah, phil, I think that's wrong.

00:24:05.929 --> 00:24:07.012
Matthew Wangenyot.

00:24:12.066 --> 00:24:17.193
Podrick Harrington 2008 and 2009 was the last one.

00:24:17.213 --> 00:24:18.737
That's right.

00:24:18.737 --> 00:24:22.670
Yeah, Massfield, 100% he's going to get a waggle counter.

00:24:23.412 --> 00:24:23.834
For sure.

00:24:24.224 --> 00:24:32.875
Did you see the interview where they were talking about the hate he was getting as he was walking through the crowd from the fans about how long he takes?

00:24:33.616 --> 00:24:34.378
No, I didn't see that.

00:24:35.205 --> 00:24:38.714
They had an interview with him on Live At Too many interviews.

00:24:38.714 --> 00:24:40.887
I want to see the course Too many interviews going on.

00:24:40.887 --> 00:24:45.162
Right now, every time I turn it on, it's a press conference and an interviews.

00:24:45.281 --> 00:25:08.391
but he was saying that you know a lot of people were giving him shit for it you know, what really made me sad is all the focus on the postage stamp and like being able to play, like the recreation of it out at Royal links, right and uh, knowing I mean looking at it on TV it's like it was very similar.

00:25:08.391 --> 00:25:14.753
The yardage might not have been different, it was like it was pretty fucking accurate and we can't go do that anymore.

00:25:14.753 --> 00:25:22.594
So it's uh, it's a rip Royal links type of week for me, because I think the post-its stamp it's going to get a lot of love this week.

00:25:22.924 --> 00:25:26.195
How epic would it have been to have the VGN tournament at Royal links this weekend?

00:25:26.925 --> 00:25:27.647
That would have been great.

00:25:28.009 --> 00:25:31.916
God, it's that place Screw you.

00:25:31.916 --> 00:25:32.838
Portable housing.

00:25:33.806 --> 00:25:41.476
That's a terrible thing to say but government cheese, screw you, government cheese you run a really good golf course that we really liked.

00:25:42.789 --> 00:25:43.653
Oh yeah, that's what he said.

00:25:43.653 --> 00:25:44.015
You're right.

00:25:44.015 --> 00:25:45.240
Uh, you don't have the stones.

00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:54.685
They said you don't have the stones to pull this off and he's like, yeah, I do, yeah, for sure he does all right, uh, so the par five.

00:25:54.685 --> 00:25:57.191
Sixth hole 623 yards.

00:25:57.191 --> 00:25:59.374
It'll be the longest in open history.

00:26:00.516 --> 00:26:06.472
That's pretty crazy yeah 10 time hosting, the first time since 2016.

00:26:06.472 --> 00:26:06.753
Go ahead.

00:26:06.753 --> 00:26:11.616
I would say Oberg, today he hit a drive on that hole for 49.

00:26:11.616 --> 00:26:14.253
They said he had like 165 yards in or some shit like that.

00:26:14.253 --> 00:26:16.451
I can see why it's 623 yards now.

00:26:17.375 --> 00:26:19.171
Yeah, prevailing wind must be downwind.

00:26:19.471 --> 00:26:19.772
Yeah.

00:26:23.047 --> 00:26:24.070
Oh my God, I just realized something.

00:26:24.070 --> 00:26:26.733
I completely blanked on this.

00:26:26.733 --> 00:26:33.803
How about a huge fucking congratulations to Harry Hall oh yeah.

00:26:33.803 --> 00:26:36.929
Jesus Christ I was.

00:26:36.929 --> 00:26:43.471
I had fucking goose, goosies, that whole playoff and when he hit that chip.

00:26:44.204 --> 00:26:45.972
Sorry, we're going to go off script for a minute here.

00:26:45.972 --> 00:26:51.194
Holy crap, was that not one of the best chip-ins of the season?

00:26:51.194 --> 00:26:57.651
Huge win for him Exemption for two years.

00:26:57.651 --> 00:26:59.871
He gets his tour card for two years.

00:26:59.871 --> 00:27:04.832
He's in the century, he's in the players, he's in, I think, the pga championship.

00:27:04.832 --> 00:27:10.230
Um doesn't have to worry about, you know, trying to maintain his status.

00:27:10.230 --> 00:27:12.617
Uh can take that pressure off.

00:27:12.617 --> 00:27:19.253
Getting ready to have his baby on friday uh, his what's in the bag today that he did was awesome.

00:27:19.253 --> 00:27:21.378
Then he showed the baby carrier that got me to go to the hospital.

00:27:21.378 --> 00:27:24.290
So happy for him.

00:27:24.290 --> 00:27:25.830
The guy works so hard.

00:27:25.830 --> 00:27:36.031
But one of the key things I think he went and saw Butch and he said that in the interview and he had said it on social a couple times.

00:27:36.031 --> 00:27:49.258
But he said Butch has him aiming at flags and has him aiming right and it just goes to show you how you can have a guy with so much talent as he has.

00:27:49.258 --> 00:27:53.007
And you know, professional golf is very hard.

00:27:53.007 --> 00:27:54.952
It's very hard to win on tour.

00:27:55.213 --> 00:27:59.586
It's incredibly cool, it's miniscule man even in opposite field events.

00:27:59.887 --> 00:28:00.770
It is incredibly hard.

00:28:00.770 --> 00:28:11.707
There was five guys in that playoff and, uh, you know, when he hit that ob t shot I was like shit but didn't give up, fought back, fought through the playoffs.

00:28:11.707 --> 00:28:15.192
That bunker shot was absolutely insane.

00:28:15.192 --> 00:28:24.012
Um, and, knowing to stay right and I wasn't a fan of the driver, I was like put the damn driver away.

00:28:24.305 --> 00:28:28.990
None of us were in our yeah nobody was Um and uh.

00:28:29.652 --> 00:28:32.652
But then that chip dropped, man and I just had goosebumps.

00:28:32.652 --> 00:28:41.502
Um, so happy for him, so happy for his family and happy that, uh, you know this is going to be a step forward for him big time, hell yeah.

00:28:42.486 --> 00:28:45.756
Yeah, I obviously was not a big fan of the driver.

00:28:45.756 --> 00:29:05.109
I think his resiliency to like really stay in it because I know playoffs can be very difficult, especially in a five-man playoff Like I feel like watching him he was in it, you know, and that's very hard to stay in that zone and he was like he was fighting for it.

00:29:05.109 --> 00:29:12.377
He fought for that, yeah, and to fight for pars when a knee Smith was very close could have made a birdie.

00:29:12.377 --> 00:29:13.628
He fought for it.

00:29:14.192 --> 00:29:18.836
Yeah, and what a way to fucking shut down that door, bro.

00:29:18.836 --> 00:29:20.632
Like that chip in was sick.

00:29:21.306 --> 00:29:24.154
That changed those guys whole perspective on that shot.

00:29:24.174 --> 00:29:24.536
Oh yeah.

00:29:24.904 --> 00:29:25.846
Just uh, they.

00:29:25.846 --> 00:29:28.031
They went from chip this close to.

00:29:28.031 --> 00:29:29.895
I gotta make this now, yeah.

00:29:30.317 --> 00:29:35.816
I yeah, and you could see, uh, what, what was the guy he like, he kind of duffed it a little bit.

00:29:35.816 --> 00:29:51.690
Oh yeah, neesmith had a decent one, but just the awesome way to shut the door on him Like chip skiing, or like I love me a chip skiing, or all day to shut the door, like so good, shout out Harry hall always yes, but how about?

00:29:51.790 --> 00:29:53.444
even on 18 and regulation?

00:29:53.444 --> 00:29:56.351
He had that like what 12 footer left to right?

00:29:57.626 --> 00:29:59.313
To save par, to get into the path.

00:29:59.313 --> 00:30:05.813
I mean that was that even, even the chip yeah, with his foot on the rocks you know yeah that I mean that ball.

00:30:05.813 --> 00:30:18.013
It happened to, uh, the other guy where it went, you know, into the hazard, and he couldn't play it yeah, you know, you need those breaks sometimes and, uh, you know, lucky enough that he was able to get into that playoff.

00:30:18.095 --> 00:30:20.126
And man, that was a killer chip.

00:30:20.126 --> 00:30:21.549
I mean, it was absolutely perfect.

00:30:21.609 --> 00:30:25.558
It rolled in like a perfect cut he, he fought it out, like to get to that chip.

00:30:25.558 --> 00:30:28.652
He fought it out which could have easily packed it in.

00:30:28.892 --> 00:30:35.836
After hitting that shot, ob, totally, totally and I mean, wow, yeah, that was awesome huge congrats to him.

00:30:35.836 --> 00:30:43.006
You know I told these guys we uh, jeremy and joe, and I played with him out at piute for a media event.

00:30:43.006 --> 00:30:49.156
I said check off, play with pga tour winner yeah, we need.

00:30:49.397 --> 00:30:51.046
You need to text him and get him on the pod.

00:30:51.046 --> 00:30:53.050
Yeah, he's a little busy, I know, I know.

00:30:53.050 --> 00:30:53.833
I know he's busy.

00:30:53.833 --> 00:30:58.771
Maybe in like a few weeks yeah, let's yeah a few weeks absolutely, yeah.

00:30:59.334 --> 00:31:01.077
yeah, that ace is just lost.

00:31:01.077 --> 00:31:02.349
That bums me out.

00:31:03.847 --> 00:31:04.851
Is he at the Open?

00:31:05.574 --> 00:31:05.693
No.

00:31:05.693 --> 00:31:07.183
No he's not.

00:31:07.183 --> 00:31:07.948
No, he hadn't.

00:31:07.948 --> 00:31:11.714
I don't know if he tried.

00:31:11.714 --> 00:31:15.108
I didn't see, because last year he was in the qualifiers and just missed out.

00:31:16.786 --> 00:31:18.413
But wouldn't that win get him in?

00:31:18.413 --> 00:31:20.528
I was just going to ask that Does the win get him in?

00:31:20.548 --> 00:31:20.770
that.

00:31:20.770 --> 00:31:27.674
They said that Aaron Rye and two other people got the final spot the other day, so I don't remember.

00:31:28.525 --> 00:31:29.730
That's what I was curious about.

00:31:30.046 --> 00:31:31.734
Because when did Jordan Spieth win?

00:31:31.734 --> 00:31:35.653
Because Jordan Spieth won in 17.

00:31:35.653 --> 00:31:38.699
Didn't he win something?

00:31:38.699 --> 00:31:39.724
And he wasn't in the open?

00:31:39.724 --> 00:31:41.772
And they showed him on the plane going over.

00:31:41.772 --> 00:31:47.654
Can't remember what that was, anyways, was it 2014?

00:31:47.654 --> 00:31:47.654
.

00:31:49.425 --> 00:31:50.731
When he won the John Deere or.

00:31:51.205 --> 00:31:51.990
Maybe that's what it was.

00:31:51.990 --> 00:32:00.878
I know, I know he got a win and it got him in, but I don't know if, with the baby coming, if he even wanted to be there.

00:32:03.365 --> 00:32:03.545
True.

00:32:04.467 --> 00:32:05.509
Yeah, I get that you know.

00:32:05.528 --> 00:32:08.353
Um hey, but fucking monumental win.

00:32:08.353 --> 00:32:13.086
Nobody can say shit like who cares if the top 10 weren't in the field?

00:32:13.468 --> 00:32:16.634
I'd work on harry hall one there was five people.

00:32:16.634 --> 00:32:24.597
Epic fashion playoff epic fashion go harry yes, absolutely okay, sorry about that, I can't I.

00:32:24.597 --> 00:32:26.007
I wanted to leave with that.

00:32:26.007 --> 00:32:30.409
